I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

The second movement of "Duets For Synthesizer".

I played acoustic and electric guitars, bass, and mellotron on this track.

like the title says. departure from the norm for one of the BNS lads

it is icy. it moves. it is glacially inevitable. the listener may percieve tension. a desire to break free. a wish to increase velocity. it is impossible. it will proceed at its own pace. relax.

it is zajjy and offbeat. it is almost a tao of tonality. it is dizzy. it is not gillespie. do not follow its path too closely. it knows not its destination. generative music.

almost everything that i write starts on acoustic guitar... I wrote this one as I was driving... so by the time that I got to my studio, i really heard the whole thing finished (both lyrics and the music)... and it was more of a NY bluesy piano…

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)
